creation for the burgeoning queer TV and new digital media arenas. Q-Me
Con will feature engaging seminars, exhibitor spaces, special content
showcases and networking events designed for both novice and
experienced digital content creators, as well as industry professionals and broadcasters seeking to gain valuable insight into the world of

The need for LGBTQ content is increasing due to the exponential growth
of queer-targeted cable channels, programs, film and video festivals,
web portals and DVD distributors. In addition, new trends toward
short-form mobile and interstitial programming, web streaming and
videocasting within the media marketplace continue to create an
ever-increasing demand for LGBTQ and LGBTQ-friendly content.
The future is digital. Q-Me Con strongly supports filmmakers working in
traditional cinema. However, we believe that access to inexpensive
technology and easy-to-use production tools makes queer digital content
easier, faster and cheaper to produce than ever before.
Q-Me Con will feature a wide array of informative panels focusing on
issues and topics, ranging from basic primers teaching media makers how
to get started -- to advanced seminars for professionals currently
producing queer content. In addition to these panels, workshops and
forums, Q-Me Con will also feature keynote speeches by leading figures
in the queer media landscape, special screenings of independently
produced queer digital video content and numerous networking parties.
Q-Me Con has assembled some of the leading LGBTQ media outlets,
programmers, digital video content makers and representatives from
traditional and alternative distributors. A wide range of LGBTQ and
LGBTQ-targeting companies and outlets will be exhibiting their products
and services throughout Q-Me Con. To be considered as a panelist,
please contact Jennifer Howd at jennifer@punkmouse.com.
Absolutely not. Q-Me Con supports, encourages and welcomes all content
creators and industry professionals. Q-Me Cons seminars and events are
geared to benefit anyone looking to gain both insight into and access
to the world of queer content,regardless of sexual or gender
orientation.
Q-Me Con is actively seeking a wide range of strategic partners and
sponsorships to make our first year a success. By tapping into the
underserved but high-income queer community, a partnership with Q-Me
Con can serve as an effective cross-marketing platform for a variety of
brands aimed at targeting the LGBTQ and LGBTQ-friendly consumer. For
